Default Reverse / Backing Wires Question

I知 trying to install a backing camera into a 91 Cavalier. The instructions indicate a Negative Ground wire that is Black and a Positive Reverse Light Wire that is Red.

I know this should be logical but am I to assume (correctly without screwing anything up) that the Positive Reverse Wire in this case is Green?

Probably. If you have a volt ohm meter, check the connector pin to frame ground. That will tell you what it is.
